An IMAX 3-D film becomes such an immersive cinematic experience that you become the character riding that dragon — which is fortunate, because you're probably more interesting than the character riding that dragon. Grade: B-.

IMAX gem zips audience through vastness, beauty and colors of space

Leonardo DiCaprio effectively narrates this 43-minute IMAX 3-D journey into the farthest reaches of outer space. The film follows the Space Shuttle Atlantis on its 2009 rescue mission, and the eye-popping views of space shift into warp drive when the Hubble telescope substitutes for the IMAX camera lens to provide incredibly clear images of galaxies, stars and nebulae millions of light years away. Grade: B-plus.
